Dual Xeon Gold 5317 1U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors. Each CPU runs at 3.0 GHz base and 3.6 GHz turbo with 12 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. It targets virtualization, database, and dense cloud workloads.
Verify Rack Power And Network Before Install
Confirm your rack provides redundant power circuits for the two 1400 W platinum supplies. The OCP 3.0 quad-port 1 GbE adapter requires an available OCP slot and matching switch ports. Ensure the SAS backplane cabling matches the PERC H755 controller layout. Memory expansion uses DDR4 RDIMMs only up to 2 TB total capacity.
Hot-Swap Drives And Rails Simplify Maintenance
Ten 2.5-inch 600 GB 10K SAS drives sit in hot-swap bays behind the included front bezel. The PERC H755 controller with 8 GB NV cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. ReadyRails allow tool-less mounting in standard racks. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management over a separate network connection.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the Dell PowerEdge R650, and what must be purchased separately?
The server ships with two Xeon Gold 5317 processors, 512 GB DDR4 memory in 16 modules, ten 600 GB SAS drives, H755 RAID controller with 8 GB cache, quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 1400 W platinum power supplies, ready rails and front bezel. Additional drives, memory modules or GPU cards are not included.
Should I choose the 512 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 2 TB maximum?
The installed 512 GB across 16 DIMM slots leaves 16 slots free for expansion. Select the base 512 GB if current workloads fit; add matched DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC modules later when virtualization density or database buffer pools require more capacity.
What does the 3.6 GHz turbo frequency mean for real-world performance in this 1U server?
Each Xeon Gold 5317 can lift from its 3.0 GHz base to 3.6 GHz turbo on active cores, giving burst speed for short database queries or compile jobs while the dual 1400 W supplies and 1U airflow keep thermals stable during sustained loads.
